Walk-in Closet Event

When it’s peak job-hunting season, we unpack our closet and put it all out on display for students to peruse through and take an outfit they need!

These are also opportunities to drop off good quality apparel you’d like to pass on to the next crop of students looking to get into the workforce (e.g. shoes, blazers, belts and ties, suits/skirts/dress pants, dress shirts or blouses, handbags and other accessories).

Check out our event calendar to stay up-to-date for the next walk-in closet event or check below for upcoming dates.
